a The fluorescence photographs of A. thaliana growth with different concentrations of CDs at 7 days post the treatment. b–d The photographs (b) fresh weight (c) and leaf area (d) of A. thaliana at 14 days post the treatment with different concentrations of CDs (n = 10). e–g Quantum yield (ϕPSII), ETR and Fv/Fm of PSII in A. thaliana at 14 days post the treatment with different concentrations of CDs.
